Watch This! has put together something a little different this time around: In honor of Reader’s Fest First-Gen Celebration at Miami Dade College, the Watch This! crew (well, Stephanie and Paul, at least. Alex Johnny Bench-ed on the couch) welcome former guests and honorary co-hosts Daniella and Dennis back for a discussion of book to film adaptations. Hope you enjoy it, and don't forget to join us for the Reader's Fest celebration Tuesday, November 10, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM at the MDC Kendall Campus.

Since we are gluttons for punishment and want to fight with Stephanie again, we dipped back into the Celine Song well to cover Materialists in this episode of Watch This! Will Stephanie like Ms. Song's second film better than her first (Past Lives, covered in our last episode)? Find out for yourselves! Okay, I'll give you a hint...no. At least Alex and Paul are here to possibly defend the film. Did they like it as much as Past Lives? I'll give you a hint...no. But they did like it! Why? Stop reading and just listen to the episode, will ya?

And yet another contentious episode of Watch This! comes your way. This week the crew takes on Celine Song's wonderful debut, Past Lives. Well, Alex and Paul found it wonderful, Stephanie and special guest, Jessica, not so much. What is the ladies' major malfunction? Maybe Celine Song wronged them in a past life or something. Shame this episode didn't come out on the Fourth of July 'cause there be some major fireworks here!
